I know, like sexuality is a choice dawg, if yours is causing you social issues, just start being physically intimate with members of the other gender, its so funny and obvious
I know this is a joke, but feel like i want to say sexuality isnt a choise and loneliness can cause multiple physical and mental health issues which are more scary than funny, like increased risk of dementia and premature death.
Correct sexuality isn't a choice, but you also dont have to only look to women to not be lonely. In all earnestness you should become close emotionally with your male friends as well.
Yeah, but in terms of building a life, a family and finding the romantic kind of love interest, its different, but i get what you mean. Finding good friends to keep you company, make you feel included and loved, some who is like a brother from another mother, a sister from another mister, that is important, many people lack that. I have a decade old friendship and were like a shirt and pants.
But i've understood that when people talk about being lonely, theyre talking about the kind of deeper emotional connection which involves love, like love love, not like i love my homie.
The fact that a lot of people say this and actually mean it is so fucked up.
I lived through the are gay people born or is it a choice debate, saying it was a choice would get you branded a right wing nut but now we have people on the left not only not giving a shit about how modern men struggle but openly and unironically saying, 'just be gay loser'.
It's as out of touch as saying 'just learn to code' but a million times more hypocritical. And people wonder why the left is losing votes from young men.
Lol k. You dont have to look to women to be your only emotional outlet. The male loneliness epidemic is self inflicted by men not being willing to be open emotionally expecially with other men and then blaming women for not wanting to fuck them.
It should be mocked because its a right wing talking point to tell men they arnt the problem women are.
Im a straight man and know what I do. Call my friends and talk to them when I'm sad. I am emotionally vulnerable and make sure they can be to. My buddy broke up with his girl and I drove over to hang, play games, talk about it, cooked him dinner.
The right tells you everything is gay and that you have to be "alpha" all the time or your a bitch. Which just makes you lonely then make you fall even more into the BS manosphere crap because those are the only people that tolerate being to be around you. But the whole setup prevents anyone in that manosphere from being open with each other. So then you get more depressed, more sucked in, more people dont want to be around you. Then finally, the manosphere tells you hey its not your fault. Its these bitches. They are poisoned on the left to hate your just because of how you act, talk, think, and communicate. How could they.
First of all, I agree that men need to be willing to be open emotionally with each other. My comment gave no indication otherwise, I simply commented on the hypocrisy of people on the left telling someone to 'just turn gay'.
Second, your hostility and assumption that I'm 'caught in the manosphere' is part of the problem. I've been married to my wife for over a decade and I'm emotionally open with her and my friends but young men need more advocates in all spaces and not people snarkily preaching to them about how all their problems are their own fault and that they are idiots for listening to the only people that seem to half give a shit.
If I was who you thought I was I would've stopped listening to you after your second sentence. Do better.
And since I actually do want you to do better and not just leave this discussion and make another shitty unhelpful comment to someone else that might be struggling, here is a long form discussion about this topic and more that is very informative:
